Naval and Military Intelligence. God, ever come upon England—your regiment would maintain the high character which it has already acquired, and that all of you to a man would be ready to come for ward, if need were, to fight well and bravely for our Eng lish hearths and homes. (Cheers.) On looking at the marks of your regiment I am struck in thinking what a wonderful amount of patience and perseverance must have been shown in bringing skill to such a high degree of per fection, and that in the midst of the great excitement at such times the eye, hand, and nerve have been kept per fectly steady. One thing I must remark—and it must be a subject of great congratulation among all English men and women—namely, the advantage which this volunteer move ment has given, and I trust will still give in a greater de gree, to all classes of the youth of this country, in substi• Luting a noble, healthy, and intelligent occupation for pur suits which perhaps may have been less praiseworthy. (Cheers.) It now only remains for me to wish you all prosperity, and I hope most fervently that the blessing of God, which we must remember can alone give real distinc • tion and success, may rest upon you all individually and collectively. (Cheers.) Lady Albemarle delivered this address with remarkable spirit, and in a tone of voice which was well heard throughout the hall. At its conclusion Viscount Bury called for one cheer more for the little Prince, and the hall rang with a responsive shout, the band of the regiment playing the new and popular air " God Bless the Prince of Wales." THE NAVY. KINAHAN'S LL WHISKY v. COGNAC, BRANDY. This celebrated Old IRISH 'WHISKY rivals the finest FRENCH BRANDY, It i Pure, Mild, Mellow, Delicious, and very Wholesome. Sold in Bottles, 3s. Bd., at the Retail Houses in London ; by the Agents in the principal towns in England ; or wholesale at The Hector iron frigate, Capt. Preedy, C. 8,, will be un docked at Portsmouth on Monday, and completed for sea service and her final trial of speed (this time under altered conditions of weights and draught of water) at the measured mile. During the time the ship has been in dock her bottom has been cleansed and recoated with a pigment composi tion, and the 800 plates of Browne's patent vitreous sheath ing, with which portions of her bottom were sheathed some seven months since, examined and reported upon by the officials of the dockyard. Only one plate, about 9in. by 4in., was found to have come off, and this the patentees ascribe to the use of an inferior kind of cement or glue, which failed to :rake the adhesion complete between the inner surface of the plate and the iron of the ship's bottom. One patch of the plates uas taken off at the request of the patentees, and afterwards replaced with their improved glass•surfaced plates, and affixed to the ship's bottom with an improved description of glue, the manufacture of which they have taken into their own hands, so as to be answer able for any future defects which may be discovered in the perfect adhesion of the glazed sheathing to the ship's bot tom. Where the patch of plates was taken off the surface of the iron plating of the ship's bottom was laid hare, and it was found to be in the most perfect condition. As a pre servative alone to the bottoms of iron ships the vitreous sheathing will most probably supersede all pigment com positions for coating the bottoms of her Majesty's ships. 1 The Clara convict ship sailed from Spithead on Thursday for Portland and Swan River, after having taken on board from the Portsmouth convict prison 98 convicts, the greater part of whom are sentenced to long terms of penal servitude for life. Among them are several who were convicted of highway robbery with violence. Vacancies, Promotions, and Appointments in the Civil Service, (From the Civil Service Gcz'tte.)

Yesterday an inquiry, directed by the Board of Trade, was concluded at the Greenwich Police court, before Mr. Trail, the magistrate, and Cap- ' tain Harris and Captain Domett, nautical assessors, into the circumstances attending the stranding of the screw steamer Regina, Captain James Bowen, off Dungeness, on the morning of the 16th of De cember last. Mr. O'Dowd attended to conduct the case on behalf of the Board of Trade, and Mr. R. N. Howard, solicitor, of Weymouth, appeared for Cap tain Bowen. Mr. O'Dowd, :n opening the case, said that the inquiry was inattuted by the Board of Trade under the Ist article of the 4321 section of the and w Merchant a s th e property Shipping o ert Act, 1854. The Regina was a screw steamer, belonging to the port of Lon don,f Messrs. Pickernell, of Fenchurch.street, City. She was built in 1862, and was registered as of 497 tons burden, and having engines of 90-horse power, At the time of the stranding she was under tte command of Captain Bowen, who held a certificate of competency frOm the Board of Trade, and had had the command of different vessels for 22 years, including the Great that period he (Mr. t, Eastern p o w steamship.o felttho tie befallen dutyvessel During sst e : state that no accident or casualty him. The crew consisted of 23 Was on her homeward general cargo. At 10 voyage from hands, b and Naples, ad with. 4 Dungeness Light bore E p N !l * E. December leagues, the vessel at this time of ;proceeding t h e rate of nine knots an h our , weather cloudy, and wind W. by S. At midnight a light was placed over the ship's distantlsth s ° at Dt seve n e n the pilot, the vessel then going Dungene ss distant about two miles. No pilot , h owever, came on board, and bluelights were burnt , and the vessel was hauled off. At 1 a.m. Dungene ss Li ght bore W.N.W. At that time the engines were workin— asbr a ea s s i t gua of l for a g at quarter speed, the helm was ported. Shortly afterwards Dunge ness ou r mi l es. Light w as again Passed, dista n t a bo u t th r ee or f C ap t ai n Bowe n was on deck during the whole of this time, and soundings were twice taken, and the ship's helm the second between cis e first and seven givin g was ported to avoid two vessels, and this bringing her to the northward her helm Was l 7 fathoms. fathoms , om At put hard star board, and about eight minutes afterwards the vessel struck on the beach. Orders were then given for the engines to be worked astern at full speed, but this failed to bring her off, and s h e rema i ne d fixed for 22 days, daring w hi ch time her cargo was discharged, and she was then brought i n t o a d oc k on the Thames for repair. The first officer, the chief engineer, and an able seaman were examined at great length, as also Captain Bowen, who said at the time the ship went aground Dungeness light bore by the bridge compass, B. by N. 4 N., and afterwards Captain Fenwick, who was sent down to ascertain the exact position of the ship, made it E. by N. 4 N., when he remarked that the ship's compasses must be incorrect. Th e spot where she struck was only three-quarters of a mile from the light. Captain Harris, in expressing his opinion upon the case, strongly condemned an entry made in the log-book of eight fathoms of water being obtained as sound ' inga just previous to the stranding. The entry, he said, appeared to have been made for th e p urpose o f misleading the owners, but it was not likely profes sional men would be misled. With regard to 17 fathoms soundings being obtained, he (Captain Bowen) knew as well as that Court did it was next to an impossibility to obtain such soundings with the vessel going at four knots an hour. The general navigation of the ship appeared to have been very good, and reflected great credit upon the captain. His opinion, however, was that Captain Bowen had trusted more to his eye than the compasses as re garded the light. Taking into consideration his high professional character, he was not inclined to visit him with any severe punishment, and he should therefore recommend that his certificate be returned to him with an admonition from the Court. Capt. Domett and Mr. Traill concurred in this suggestion, and the certificate having been acordingly returned to Captain Bowen, the proceedings terminated. It was rumoured a short time since that the oonvict pri son adjoining the dockyard at Portsmouth was about to be abolished, and the work in the dockyard, which had been hitherto done by convicts, to be performed in future by ordinary hired labourers in the employ of the authorities or by contract. Since the appointment of the present superin tendent of the yard, however, these rumours have died away, the numbers of convicts in the prison have been increased, they have been employed in the dockyard more freely than ever, and have certainly, under the rigid superintendence to which they have been subjected, done a large amount of work, the benefits of which will be felt for many years to come. In the days of wooden shipbuilding the convict could always be fully employed in transporting timbor and in setting up the ship's framing as required by the skilled workmen of the yard. Now, however, that no ships are being built in the yard it was necessary, if the convicts were to retain their position as part of the available labour of the yard, that some other kind of work should be found for them, and this Rear-Admiral Elliot found without difficulty on assuming his command of the yard. For many years past the roads in Portsmouth dockyard have been so rough and uneven that the general work of the establishment has been much delayed, owing to the great difficulty and loss of time attending the transport of material from one part of it to another. In a very short time, however, a fathom of un even paving or of mud or water in roadway or footway will not be found throughout the yard,and all the improvements will be accomplished by the convicts. The whole of the paving has been taken up and relaid, and tramways of old iron ballast have been laid down the centre of each, owing to which measures material may now be transported from one part of the yard to another in one-half the time and with one-half the labour expended formerly. In addition to this a party of convicts are now engaged in the yard manufac turing for their own use, when on labourers' work in the yard or outside their prison walls, carts, wheelbarrows, picks, spades, &c. The work those men aro now engaged upon will, however, soon be completed, and it will be neces sary to find them other employment. It is believed that they will be employed on some part of the work com prised in the extension of Portsmouth dockyard and the creation of the new docks and basins which are about to be commenced under the direction of Mr. Scamp, C.E., the assistant director of engineering works to the Admiralty, Her Majesty's iron store steamship Industry, Master Commander Edward C. T. Youel, from Rio de Janeiro, yosterday arrived off Woolwich Arsenal, and discharged her powder at the floating magazine. She will go up to Deptford this morning and unship her cargo of damaged victualling stores, &c., and reload for the same destination. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Robert Brown, master, ad ditional, to the Indus, for the Research; and WM. J. Brown, engineer, qualified for special charge, to the Vic toria and Albert, for the Elfin. THE ARMY. A large quantity of engineers' stores, consisting of 10,000 trenching tools, wheelbarrows, carts, &c., were yesterday despatched in barges from Woolwich Arsenal for shipment on board the freight ship Queen of the Deep, for New Zealand. Capt. Frederick Augustus Foster,Royal Marine Artillery, and a staff of non-commissioned officers from Fort Cumber land, Portsmouth, have been engaged at Woolwich during the past week in examining a number of men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, who have been permitted to volun teer for the atovenamed corps. Each man was subjected to a strict test of his knowledge of reading, writing, arith metic, &c., and was required to be of sound constitution, and especially to have good eyesight, so as to distinguish distant objects readily with one eye. Forty-five were eventually selected from the division, and will join the corps at Portsmouth. The Woolwich battalion, which were already 142 short of their required strength, are thus stripped of a further number of picked men, to the great annoyance of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the corps, by whose labour and tuition they have arrived at their present state of efficiency, only to be transferred to the rival branch of the forces. Capt. Foster and his staff are now under orders to proceed to Chatham for the same purpose. Capt. Connolly, Lieuts. Woodford, Hopkins, and Bow man, and a detachment of Royal Marines Light Infantry for some time stationed at Deptford, consisting of 120 non commissioned officers and privates, yesterday joined the head-quarters of the division at Woolwich. The barracks at Deptford will be occupied until further orders by a ser • geant, corporal, and 12 privates only. THE VOLUNTEERS. Last evening an interesting ceremony took place in West minster-hall, in the presence of a large number of people, including several persons of rank. The Civil Service Rifle Volunteers, a fine body of men, and who enjoy the proud distinction of having for their honorary colonel his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, were drawn up in the hall on the occasion of the presentation by the Countess of Albe marle of the prizes won by members of the corps during the past year. A platform, elegantly draped with red cloth, and over which several handsome banners, lent by the Admiralty were suspended, had been erected for the occasion immedi ately in front of the members' entrance to the House of Commons, and upon it were displayed the prizes about to be distributed, many of which were of great intrinsic value, irrespective of the skill which they symbolized. The corps, attended by its band, was ranged along the northern side of the hall,and the spectators between it and the dais. Viscount Bury, M.P., the Lieut.-Colonel, was in command of the regiment. He explained that Lady Bury, who was to have presented the prizes, was prevented being present at the ceremony by illness, to her own great regret, for she claimed a share in the good name and repute of the regiment. The Countess of Albemarle, however, would take her place—the Wife, he said, of an old soldier, and who had from the first taken the warmest interest in the success of the Volunteer corps throughout the kingdom. An analysis of the shooting in 1863 showed that the course of musketry drill was attended by 315 members of the regi ment, of whom 284 proceeded to target practice. At the close of the course there were in the third class 33, in the second class, 86; and in the irst class, 165. Of these 97 were marks men, 21 of whom were entitled to "cross muskets "—the marksman's principal badge. The average points per man in the first period of firing (3d class) was 18•;1; in the second period (2d class), 12'72 ; and in the third period (first class), 10.11. The Countess of ALBEMARLE, addressing the regiment from the platform, said,—lt gives mo the greatest pleasure to take part in the presentation of the various prizes which have been won by members of the Civil Service Volunteers during the past year. I am sure, gentlemen, you are all well aware how delighted the ladies of England are at all times to avail themselves of opportunities to take a share in anything that concerns this groat Volunteer movement —(cheers)--an interest whioh they are ever willing to prove by their readiness to come forward on all suitable occasions, with words of deep sympathy and encouragement. (Cheers.) I observe that among the prizes to be distributed to-day are some given by the Prince of Wales, and it must indeed be a matter of groat satisfaction to you to feel that the Royal and illustrious Colonel of your regiment takes so deep an interest in its welfare. With the knowledge of that interest you must have experienced peculiar pleasure on hearing of the late event which has so materially added to the Prince's happiness, and been hailed with joy through out the length and breadth of the land. (Cheers.) Lotd BURY, interposing for a moment, called for three cheers for the Prince of Wales. They were given with great enthusiasm. The Countess of ALBEMARLE, resuming, said—l hear, gentlemen, that for efficiency both in shooting and in drill the Civil Service Volunteers are second to none in London. This we all fully believe, and I must say I feel it a subject of great pleasure and pride to myself that one so nearly connected with me should have the honour to command a band of men who, in a military point of view, have earned such high honour and distinction. We feel that in the hour of danger-should such an hour, in the Providence of The first battalion prize, a challenge cup, given by the Prince of Wales, was awarded to Private E. Burrough, of the 2d Whitehall company. Lord Bury remarked that it was the most magnificent trophy which the regiment pos sessed, and was tenable by the winner for a year. He added that all their great prize winners were the most effi cient men in the corps. Miss Hawker distributed the Audit-office Company's prizes, Mrs. Du Plat Taylor those of the Post-office Com pany, Lady Albemarle those of the Inland Revenue Coto pany, Mrs. Mills those of the Whitehall Company, and Lady Albemarle those of the Admiralty Company, in the unavoidable absence of Lady Clarence Paget. The Bury Challenge Cup was won by Capt. Willis, for the Admiralty , Company; the Ladies' Challenge Cup and a claret jug, by Sergeant JEston, Audit-offi3e Company; a silver cup, the first prize for marksmen, by Private Herries, of the same company ; and the third prize, a field-glass, for first-class men not marksmen, by Private Neilson, of the Ist Inland Revenue Company. Lieut.-Colonel BURY stated incidentally, on a prize being awarded to Lieut. Walliker, that the lieutenant, who had from the first been an energetic member of the regiment and long its quartermaster, had recently been promoted to the o ffi ce of Postmaster of Hull. As this was being said Lieut. Walliker entered the hall and was welcomed with cheers by his companions in arms. At the conclusion of the ceremony the corps presented arms and the company gave three cheers for the Queen, three for Lady Albemarle, and three for Lady Bury. The Metropolitan Board of Works, The usual weekly meeting of this board was held yester day, at the offices in Spring-gardens, Mr. J. Thwaites, the chairman, presiding. THE SALARY OF THE CHAIRMAN. After the usual routine business of the Board had been disposed of, a special meeting was held on the requisition of 21 members, who, being of opinion that the time had "arrived when an addition should be made to the salary of John Thwaites, Esq., chairman of the Board," had called that meeting " for the purpose of considering the propriety of making such addition, and of varying the resolution of the Board of the 19th of December, 1855, whereby £1,500" had been fixed as the amount of salary to be paid to the chairman. The requisition was signed by Mr. W. Tite, M.P., Mr. T. J. Miller, M.P., Mr. Phillips, Mr. Dalton, Mr. Le Breton, Mr, Alderman Finnis, Mr. It. Taylor, Mr. Judkins, Mr. Long, Mr. Pow, Mr. Moreland, Mr, Hall, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. M'Donnell, Mr. Collinson, Mr. Newton, Mr. Legg, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Brooker, Mr. Wallis, and Mr. Harris. On the subject being brought forward, The CHAIRMAN requested the Board to elect a number to preside, in order that he might retire, and Mr. Lowman Taylor was unanimously elected to fill this position. Mr.Tr'rE, M. P., said that, in proposing a motion to embody the wishes of the gentlemen who had signed the requisition, he felt placed in a position of some difficulty, for he knew that thn people of the metropolis paid heavy rates, and he did not like recommending anything which would have the effect of increasing their burdens. The Board would, he was sure, entirely agree with him in thinking that it was a fortunate circumstance Mr. Thwaites had been chosen to hold the position of head of that establishment, for the BGard had found him a gentleman of great business habits, of inimitable patience and temper, and of courteous and urbane manners, and he had been the means of keeping the Board together in a manner which reflected the highest honour upon him. It was unnecessary to eulogise the chairman, who filled the position of Speaker to the Metro politan Board, for all knew the extraordinary skill and ability with which he conducted the Board's business since 1856. Mr. Thwaites was elected in the latter part of 1855, but it was not until the following year that he commenced hie duties, and since that time his duties had increased two fold at the very least. (Hear.) There were two points which the Board would have to remember, and they were that Mr. Thwaites, on being elected as chairman, gave up his own pursuit, a most lucrative one, and surrendered all business connections and gave to the affairs of the Board the whole of his time. The Legislature, in fixing the salary of the chairman of that Board, made a minimum of £1,500 and a maximum of £2,000, and the Board adopted the minimum. The time had now arrived when the Board, in regard to the services of the chairman and in personal respect, ought to give the head officer the full amount fixed by the Act of Parliament, and he (Mr. Tito) therefore moved that the salary of the chairman should be increased to the full amount allowed by the Act of Parliament, and that the previous decision of the board of the 19th Decem ber be varied accordingly. Mr. MILLER, M.P., seconded the motion, and said that much of the success which had attended the board was owing to the chairman, who had discharged with impartia lity, integrity, and unwearied zeal his many and arduous duties. The board had increased the salaries of all the other officers but that of the chairman, who for eight years had been without any increase to his salary, though his duties had largely increased. In his (Mr. Miller's) opinion, if the Act of Parliament had been made at a later date, the salary would have been fixed much higher, for Mr. Thwaites, be sides being chairman, was head of every department, and was the board's engineer, its solicitor, and its architect, and had to be consulted on numerous questions to which he had to give the greatest attention. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer during the last session was waited upon, and asked to bring in the bill concerning the main drainage, and he refused ; but afterwards, on Mr. Thwaites waiting upon him and explaining matters,the Chancellor not only brought in the bill, but made a most excellent speech upon the data furnished to him by the chairman of the board. Mr. Thwaites had been called the Speaker, and so he was, and without any disparagement being intended for the Speaker of the House of Commons, it must be allowed that Mr. Thwaites had the more at duous task ; for, whereas the Speaker had to hold his tongue and listen, the board was dependent upon Mr. Thwaites for information on all impor tant subjects. The seconder concluded by expressing the hope that the board would be unanimous on this vote, which he said would only have the effect of raising the chairman's salary to an equality with the salaries received by a chairman of a railway company. Mr. Counisorr supported the motion, and remarked that when, in 1858, an outcry was raised in the Houses of Parlia ment that the Board did nothing to allay the nuisances under which the metropolis suffered, it was through the un tiring energy of Mr. Thwaites that the Government of the day was shown the Board had no power to do all that was needed. The Government, which was a Tory one—(a laugh) _brought in a bill, and this state of things was remedied when that bill became law. The Board was raised to im portance, and had been enabled to carry out its duties to the satisfaction of the public, and this mainly through the good management of the chairman. Mr. DERMER considered that the speeches which had been made would lead to the opinion that the chairman was the Board and the members junior clerks, but what had been done had been carried out with the full cognizance of the Board. There was no question as to the ability and efficiency of the chairman, but the sum of £1,500 a year was a handsome salary, and he (Mr. Dermer) should oppose any addition being made to it. Mr. SAVAGE said that in two years the Board would see the end of the Thames Embankment, and that time, he thought, would be the proper one to raise the chairman's salary to the maximum. lie proposed, as an amendment, that the salary should be raised to X 1,750. The amendment was not seconded. Mr CICELLIN said it was very true the Act of Parliament fixed the maximum and minimum of the chairman's salary, but the origin of that was to be found in the fact that the position was thought to be a nice one for a friend of those who made the law. (Oh, oh I hear, and laughter.)

THE BARQUE GRASMERE, The following official report has been presented to the Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade : My Lords,—We, the undersigned, Mr. Jusepb. Alexander Wright and Mr. William West Watson, two of her Ma - jesty's justices of the peace for the county of Lanark, have held an official investigation into the stranding and subsequent less of the barque Grasmere, of the port of Liverpool, which occurred in the evening of the 17th De cember last, near Ballyferris Point, in the county of Down , on the east coast of Ireland. In this inquiry we have been assisted by Captain Harris and Captain Campbell, R.N., as nautical assessors, and we have now the honour to re port that the Grasmere was a barque built of wood at Chepstow, in the year 1847, and registered at Liverpool, of the burthen of 432 tons, and was owned by Messrs. Lampert and Holt, merchants of Liverpool, and Messrs. Patrick Henderson and Co., of Glasgow. The Grasmere was chartered by her Majesty's Emigration Commis sioners to carry emigrants from this port to Bluff Island, in New Zealand. Every requirement of the Passenger Act appertaining to her outfit had been complied with under the inspection of the medical officer, and she ,was in all respects fully and efficiently equipped. She had on board a crew of 22 hands, a general cargo, and 114 passengers. Thus manned and equipped, she sailed from Greenock on the 14th December last; but, the wind being adverse, the vessel put into Lamlash Bay. Here she remained, wind bound, until the morning of the 17th of December, when she departed on her voyage about 8.30 a.m., with a moderate and favourable wind, which continued so throughout the day, and a little after seven o'clock the same evening she was a wreck on the coast of Ireland. No lives were fortunately lost. The vessel passed Ailsa Craig about noon, and the coarse deposed to have been steered, namely, S.W. by S., would, if properly kept, no doubt have cleared all the dangers of the 1 rich Channel. That this course could not have been made good is obvious, for, either from the influence of the ebb tide acting upon the port bow, or from bad steerage—probably the former, as the wind was fair and the weather moderate — the ship was found at 6 p m., when the chief mate came on deck, nearer to the Irish coast than was expected or was deemed prudent—in fact, heading directly on the land. Under these circumstances, the mate himself altered the course two points further to seaward. A t this critical time it would appear that the master was below and asleep in the cabin, but, upon being called at seven p.m., he not only confirmed the prudence of his mate in hauling the ship off the land, but directed that the course should be steered still more to seaward, or S. by E., and while upon this course the vessel struck. In reviewing this case, it appears to us that great ne g li gence was evinced by the master in navigating the ship. The weather appears to have been fine and clear, the wind fair, and the sea smooth, nothing whatever to perplex or disarrange the reckoning of a seaman , In fact, the land an d li g h ts on both sides of the Ch an nel were in sight, and the only precaution necessary was a good look-out, to see that the vessel did not from any cause approach too near the land. This salutary precaution does not seem to have been exercised, for we have it in. evidence that the master was on deck till five p.m., or about dark. That at this time he gave no directions for altering the course, but went below to his cabin, although it would seem that the smallest amount of observation would have told him that his ship was not in the posi tion that the course steered ought to have placed her. In fact the Grasmere was carelessly and negligently navigated, and for this we hold the master:responsible. Under these circumstances, we have no alternative but to pronounce the master in default, and that the barque Grasmere was lost by the want of duo care and attention on the part of her master. We are more inclined to attri bute the loss to carelessness than recklessness, and giving due weight to the proved excellent character of the master, are disposed to pass a less severe sentence upon him than we otherwise should have done. Nevertheless, our duty to the public, as well as what is due to those persona who have no means of protecting themselves, constrains us to mark our sense of the negligence of the toaster in such manner as will show that the interests of emigrants and the public are not lost sight of by this court. We have thcro fore, with the full concurrence of the nautical assessors, and under the provisions of the. Mereh3nt Shipping Amend ment Act, 1862, suspended the certificate of Mr. Charles Turner, as master of the Gramert, for the periol otz x calendar month s from thi dat e —We liavc the honour, •t Was.
